2019 International Women's Day Friday March 08,2019

Today Friday March 08,2019, on the International Women's Day, Google has created a doodle to honour female trailblazers from around the world. In the interactive doodle, Google showcased inspirational quotes across various languages by thirteen international female trailblazers-both past and present.

As Google puts it, the interactive doodle, dedicated to "women empowering women" is told and created by a talented group of female artists from around the globe.

The International Women's Day doodle comprises 13 quotes from a diverse group of women from across the globe. "We aimed to include a diverse representation of voices on a day which celebrates the past, present, and future community of diverse women around the world," Google said.

The first quote - Never be limited by other people's limited imaginations by American astronaut and physician Mae Jemison - has been created by British designer and illustrator Kate Forrester. When Kate Forrester was asked what International Women's Day means to her, she said, "It is a chance to celebrate the progress we have made and consider what is yet to change for the better''

The Google Doodle also features Argentinian graphic designer Yai Salinas's work on Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Salinas illustrated Kahlo's words - Feet, what do I need them for if I have wings to fly? - and Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva's "Wings are freedom only when they are wide open in flight. On one's back they are a heavy weight" in her designs.

Mumbai-based Indian paper typographer and illustrator Sabeena Karnik created the designs based on the quotes by Indian boxer Mary Kom and diplomat NL Beno Zephine.

Google Doodle honours Olga Ladyzhenskaya on 97th birth anniversary. Who was she?

Google honoured Russian mathematician Olga Ladyzhenskaya on her 97th birth anniversary on Thursday with a doodle.

Born on March 7, 1922 at Kologriv, Ladyzhenskaya was the daughter of a mathematics teacher who helped with her early inspiration and love of mathematics.

Ladyzhenskaya was known for her work in partial differential equations and fluid dynamics.

She led an inspirational life, defying barriers and overcoming personal tragedies to become one of the most influential thinkers of her era.

She had to face many hardships because of her family name, as her father was accused of being an enemy of the state and was killed by the Soviet authorities. She was even denied admission to the Leningrad University because of this.

In her lifetime, Olga Ladyzhenskaya wrote over 250 papers and achieved recognition for her methods in the field of mathematics.

She earned her PhD and went on to head the Laboratory of Mathematical Physics at the Steklov Mathematical Institute.

She was also a recipient to many prestigious awards in her lifetime including the Lomonosov Gold Medal by the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2002 for her impressive contributions to the world of mathematics.

The celebrated mathematician breathed her last on January 12, 2004, at the age of 81.
